State recognized for increasing organ donor registration
Donate Life America presented state and organ donation officials an award last week for a campaign that has resulted in large increases in the number of organ donors in Michigan.
About 400,000 people registered to be organ donors in 2011, according to the Michigan Secretary of State's Office, which is a 25% increase over registrations in 2010. Michigan was one of four states to receive awards for greatest improvement in donor designation rate.
It ranked second in the amount of increased donors per state and the District of Columbia. According to the Secretary of State, Michigan is expected to have 500,000 registrants by the end of 2012.

EMU benefit in memory of former campus police chief raises $40,000
Eastern Michigan University said the Greg O'Dell Golf Outing raised $40,000 toward its goal of a $100,000 scholarship in memory of the former campus police chief.
The event was held Sept. 28 at EMU's Eagle Crest golf course. Chief sponsor AT&T contributed $8,000.
EMU spokesman Geoff Larcom said the scholarship fund will benefit criminal justice students at the university.
The 54-year-old O'Dell committed suicide in December. He had recently returned to Ypsilanti as EMU's police chief after three months as public safety chief at the University of Michigan.
O'Dell was in law enforcement for 30 years, much of it with Ann Arbor police.
